Why Golf Can Be Intimidating

Golf looks peaceful enough… until you realize there are rules for where to stand, when to hit, where to drive + apparently when to whisper. Here’s what learning the game really feels like as a beginner who already overthinks everything.

Why Golf Is So Addicting // And Why I Finally Understand the Obsession

I finally understand why golf becomes so damn addicting. Between divorce mediation, emotional curveballs + learning to slow the eff down, golf has become where I go to find peace, practice emotional discipline +occasionally lose my sh*t.

Nice to Meet You!

Hi, I'm Otie Beck! 🤍

I'm a mama of two boys, a woman who believes in starting over as many times as it takes, and someone who's learning that life doesn't have to look the way you originally imagined for it to become something beautiful.

I picked up golf at 40 during a season of rebuilding my life + rediscovering who I am outside of the roles I've played for everyone else. What started as a little curiosity turned into something I never expected.

Golf has become so much more than a game to me. It's a place to challenge myself, laugh at myself (often 😂), embrace the humbling moments, celebrate the little wins + find peace in the process.

And somewhere between the good swings, the terrible ones, and everything in between, I've realized that golf has a funny way of reflecting life itself.

I'm not here pretending to have it all figured out— in golf or in life. I'm simply sharing the journey as I continue learning, growing, and becoming.

Around here, you'll find plenty of humor, honest stories, beginner golf moments, a little vulnerability + reminders that you're never too old to try something new, rewrite your story, or surprise yourself along the way.

Because sometimes the best chapters are the ones you never saw coming ⛳🤍
